First Chapter of the big O NINE 09! Enjoy and REVIEW! ^^
Just as Rose and Jonathan were getting the gear the might need for the trip to Norway. Rose spotted a Nike shoe box sitting in the corner of her wardrobe. This was weird; their family never bought Nike shoes, ever (AN: No offence to the Nike people.). She pulled the lid away from the box and gasped. Inside held a picture of Jonathan sitting on John's shoulders while they both ate ice cream.
Rose remembered taking this picture. It was a Sunday and they went out to the harbour for a picnic. Rose's eyes teared up and she cried for a few minutes before coming up with the courage to look at the rest of the things in the box. She realized that it was empty apart from and envelope and a crystal like thing.
She saw that the letter was addressed to her. She opened it up;
To my dearest Rose,
When you read this letter, it must mean something has happened to me and I can not tell you about the contents of this box. The crystal like thing you might be holding is a piece of the Tardis.
This was given to me by the Doctor before he left us in Norway. I didn't want to tell about this because it may bring up bad memories and make you unhappy.
There was a way to make this piece of the Tardis grow. But it needed some sort of energy from Gallifrey to feed on. It would have taken twenty years of my life, but I was too selfish to give up that precious amount of time.
With the help of our darling son Jonathan, you might be able to find a way to make this grow.
I just want you to know, no matter what happened to me. I am peaceful, because I have loved a wonderful woman who in return, loved me back and had an amazing son. Know that I love you both and always will.
Love, John
Rose couldn't stop the loud cries coming up her throat. She clutched the letter tightly to her chest and sobbed. She hadn't realized her son's presence till he picked up the shoe box and glanced inside. Rose was silent as she handed the piece of the Tardis and the letter to her only child.
He read the letter as tears formed in his beautiful brown eyes. When he had finished reading, he folded the letter and put it back in the box. Jonathan held the crystal like thing and examined it while he thought about making it work. The mother and son both heard a sound, which Rose recognized as the engine of the Tardis.
~TARDIS~
"I think we landed alright." He scratched his head.
She glared at him "Ahuh? Maybe you should let me drive next time."
He actually shrinked back at her fierceness and pouted "But only I have a licence!"
"Oh really? Well, where is it? Show me." She put a hand out while the other rested on her hip.
"Erm…okay, I may have had one…" he rocked back and forth on his heels and examined his toes.
"What happened to it?"
The two were interrupted by a confused child crying out; "Daddy?"
Cliffy? =D
John wrote the letter, in case he wasn't there to tell Rose or Jonathan about what the Doctor gave him. Also…it's still the 10th Doctor David Tennant, he hasn't regenerated…yet.
